Yvette: likes the fact that sometimes we do have some scoping discussion in the success criteria - makes it really clear

Yvette: if delete everything that can be handled by scoping, have a much less powerful document

20:50:52 [Andi]

Yvette: scoping is part of criteria. Can't do everything at Level 1 but there should be some basic accessibility

20:51:12 [Andi]

Yvette: scoping is good tool to distinguish between different levels of accessibility - shouldn't be too quick to cut it out

Mike: split content into different categories with specific requirements for alt text for that type of non-text content

20:54:25 [MichaelC]

q+ to say I like Mike's approach, although the guidelines are probably agnostic to the existence of "null" alt text - that's an HTML technique and I'm not sure what the guideline requirement would be for that concept

20:54:47 [Andi]

Categories: 1. non-text content having no bearing on meaning of content (there only for presentation)

20:55:14 [Andi]

2. non-text content that has iconic or functional use - alt text must detail the function of the the element
